Alphabetic Principle
Definition: The alphabetic principle is composed of two parts:
Alphabetic Understanding: Words are composed of letters that represent sounds.
Phonological Recoding: Using systematic relationships between letters and phonemes (letter-sound correspondence) to retrieve the pronunciation of an unknown printed string or to spell words. http://reading.uoregon.edu/big_ideas/au/au_what.php

Importance: The Alphabetic Principle is important to our system of education and our knowledge of phonics because it gives students a two step goal in which they must achieve to fully understand the concept of Alphabetic Principle. Students must know and accomplish the ability to comprehend that words are made up of letters which are made up of individual sounds known as phonemes and the correct pronunciation of them.
Concepts of Print
Definition: refers to the awareness of 'how print works'. This includes the knowledge of the concept of what books, print, and written language are, and how they function. https://www.education.vic.gov.au/school/teachers/teachingresources/discipline/english/literacy/readingviewing/Pages/litfocusconceptsprint.aspx

Importance: I believe the Concepts of Print is so important to the process of phonics because you begin the process of phonics by first learning the smallest tasks of what reading is. You gradually show students how to read a book by where to begin and where to end. Whether or not you read left to right, or right to left. These simple skills show teachers just where they need to begin when teaching reading and writing.
Letter Recognition
Definition: the first skill a child needs to learn before beginning the task of learning decoding skills and then word recognition. https://www.thoughtco.com/letter-recognition-reading-in-special-education-3111142

Importance: The concept of letter recognition is not only important to our ways in which we deal with phonics, but also in our overall education. If a child or even adult cannot recognize letters, they will be unable to spell and/or write. Recognizing letters is the first step in phonics.
Phonemic Awareness
Definition: refers to the specific ability to focus on and manipulate individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words

Importance: The process of Phonemic Awareness is one of the very most basic steps in Phonics and is the essential stepping stone in order to move on to larger tasks. It is important because if a child cannot differentiate or recognize in particular sounds of letters they will not be able to neither blend nor segment words because they do not know how to sound out the letters.
Blending
Definition: Phonics blending (also known as visual blending) is the ability to string together the sounds that each letter stands for in a word.

Importance: Blending is an important concept to our education and our way in which we teach and learning phonics because it breaks down the way in which we learn to read and write words. Blending helps children make sense of words by understanding the individual letters and then understanding them as one.
Segmenting
Definition: involves breaking words down into individual sounds or syllables. http://www.allkindsofminds.org/word-decoding-blending-and-segmenting-sounds-impact-of-memory
Picture:
Importance: Segmenting is important to our education and the teaching of phonics because it is the second half of blending and provides a useful way of making sure students understand phonics. It is much easier to take parts and put them together, but being able to take a word and break it down, truly shows a teacher that their students are understanding what is being taught.
